international news life for most go this is all she was me thanks for joining us american of was sponsored by the film but most islam and the prophet muhammad has swept across islamic nations across has that started in libya and egypt have flared up in almost a dozen countries now including ghana iran iraq and tunisia correspondent in the region lisa catherine of brings us the details. seems like every hour we're hearing more updates about potential protests spreading across the region this is of course turmoil in the arab world over the fence a video denigrating the prophet muhammad we've actually seen the protests spread to right here in lebanon there are a lot calmer than what we've seen in other parts of the middle east there are protesters both in the city of tripoli where a lot of the syrian fighting has actually spilled over into as well as in the southern city of so don we've also seen protests reported in israel where protesters reportedly burned an american flag there as well as pakistan where there
2:02 am
were a lot calmer than some of the other protests but local officials there had called on the expulsion of the u.s. ambassador there. given the large number of that country gets a i doubt that we would see that actually happening we've also seen protests spread to morocco sudan and tunisia now of course the most violent example that we've seen to date has really been after of course the tragic killing of the u.s. ambassador in libya has been in yemen where thursday hundreds of protesters stormed the compound they were able to breach the heavily fortified outer perimeter setting fire to a building and several cars there there's been conflicting reports about numbers killed although the latest we're hearing is four people were killed in that protest but for the moment really all eyes are really on what happens in the arab world after friday prayers a lot of times we tend to see sort of fanning the flames of crisis situations like this and really the place to watch is going to be lebanon right here in lebanon
2:03 am
where the pope is making his first visit to the country since the beginning of the arab spring the country of course has a very painful sectarian christian muslim sunni shia divide past and a force of ghana stand where killings have been reported in the past associated with the burnings of the koran by u.s. . people associated with the u.s. troops we really have to keep an eye on what's going to have. and there are after friday prayers within libya there's been reported a number of arrests of people who are six suspected to have been involved in in those attacks we are also now hearing from the u.s. the spin that this wasn't a. spontaneous protest in reaction to the film that this may have been a planned coordinated attack scheduled to take place on the anniversary of the eleventh anniversary of nine eleven investigations are still continuing with that situation and we also know that the u.s. is sending a small group of marines over to that country as well as additional war destroyers
2:04 am
to the area just in case just to see what happens there but again as a result of these clashes in the ongoing clashes in cairo we've had very very heavy security presence around the embassies in this region in fact we even drove past the u.s. embassy here in beirut and a lot more security presence than normally seen here. will be on. american demonstrations across the middle east and north africa today. plus you can always get the mage's by full of tweets. plus has since egypt are refusing to leave the streets protests as i should say outside the u.s. embassy in cairo sporadic clashes with police continued to flare up stones were told by both sides and tank rounds fired to contain the crowds over two hundred people have been aged and some dozen a list of since then began a local journalist about true reports now from cairo. we've still got hundreds of
2:05 am
protesters here mainly use. who managed to take over the central square that the security forces have been holding all day which is adjacent to the u.s. embassy security forces were pushed into a neighboring street conduct an american street where we're seeing really is normal behavior for egypt's security forces are pretty stunning which is essentially used to control tactics of the court and heavy handed rein searches to go we've seen short compound it also has been exchanging in. during the books the protests that have really been done and nothing's been done to actually calm the crowd so much i think this is probably getting the crowds more excited as we've seen before i can remember last year now crashes which stretches for five days and the same thing in december in the same thing again in february of this year so i don't think much is being done to to to to calm the crowds down really they just use the old heavy handed topic these are the first major purchase it's more six hundred officers and really people were hoping that maybe you've come to egypt and show
2:06 am
a stronger i mean he has made statements about the film and the protests and asked people to to to demonstrate peacefully the group that obviously he hails from within brotherhood of organized a protest in paris square which they said will be you know controlled and peaceful against this inflammatory film that everyone's been hooping about recently but i think the general mood is that they would have might see him come home and perhaps even the situation himself by doing to this and any time soon. and just a few minutes we'll look into just who is behind the controversial plan to islam film that has caused such a widespread outrage. and also look at how the film and subsequent protests have damaged washington's years long efforts to build friendly relations with the muslim world. on staying with and rest with islamic with an islamic nations american journalist
2:07 am
and i don't do it boss as the problem of being cool they show lines deeper than in just film the movie or actually just the trailer really which is what's been available on you tube may be serving as a catalyst but certainly the animosity goes much deeper and the issues run much deeper and people do not go into the streets over a movie and bring an r.p.g. with them first of all they generally don't carry them around either this is a case of blowback as many people are saying with al-qaeda or someone else being responsible for this and the issue being this movie and then if you look at egypt the situation there is one where the government the president morsi has made a break with the people over two major issues in the last week or two is coming down on the side of the united states over the course of the situation in syria and the rough with israel neither of which are with the center of gravity exists among
2:08 am
the egyptian people and they've had it almost continuing revolution since january february of last year where he each time when they felt the revolution was betrayed they went into the streets so the dynamics underneath this i think are much more complex than this movie first of all in libya al qaida and the united states were allies al-qaeda were the ground troops in the u.s. the air support in the early stage with the united states u.k. and french troops arming and guiding them from february twenty third on as reported in the pakistani observer back then. is in many people's minds a creature of the united states intelligence operation. more pain the only developments in libya egypt and other arab nations align for you at home and you can also find the latest on days supposed to live as they're coming and there's a timeline of how the situation is developing. in the and also now you tube channel go to the beach here is from the protests in egypt on the rest of
2:09 am
the region along with opinion on the situation. in the. russia has denounced the killing of the u.s. ambassador in libya president bush has said all governments should work to prevent for a just provocations and let's not get know all this now from. good morning alina tell us more what president bush and i have to say. but of course the russian president has strongly condemned the attacks that were libya and in egypt and he called on
2:10 am
the governments of all countries to unite in the fight against extremism saying it's important very important for all nations to work together he's also said that it's a vital that diplomats get protection while lawyer lymphocyte is the government's role in dealing with these matters in a swift manner before things get out of control. just because he does if history doesn't react in a timely and tough manner to provocations that are directed against the religious feelings of people then what happens is that the humiliated and the salted ones start to defend their own interests sometimes this can lead to wide bloodshed you know you could feel the region could fall into chaos which is exactly what's happening now in this respect i'd like to remind the rulers of these new governments and states that under one series changes to show that they should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which was to put you. know what you're seeing on your screens of course is the mayhem
2:11 am
taking place in cairo right now of course the second or third day of the on the rest of course the movie that spurred all of it or rather a i film on you tube i was condemned why the united states secretary of state who wanted what lesson did say that was to use this offensive but she also said that the united states government to law dictates to its own people whether or not they should not be saying something and basically will not obstruct their freedom of expression that of course has spurred a flurry of discussion on the internet with people debating where does the sponsibility for people's rights. russians and things that they do and say stop and how it is divided from looking at the freedom of expression. all right arena thank you very much indeed and those are live pictures from cairo as protesters gather outside of the u.s. embassy for a third day life pictures from cairo for you right now.
2:12 am
the u.s. state department had denied any involvement with the film but this statement has failed to diffuse the situation on the controversy surrounding its production is still under investigation all she's going to check on reports. the anger over this film has been growing like a snowball so has the confusion over who made it at the beginning our colleagues at the a.p. news agency reached to the person who posted the video on you tube someone named. by phone he confirmed that he had made the film identified himself as an israeli american the israeli foreign minister said there was no such israeli citizen and who ever had shot the film was and i quote an unspeakable act then our colleagues tracked down this cell number which brought them to the home of someone named nakoula mr nakoula told them that he had produced the film and that he was a christian copt and but whoever made the film it's trailer went viral after an egyptian american coptic activist from washington d.c.
2:13 am
sent an e-mail to journalists around the world promoting this of kember eleven event and included a link to this fourteen minute clip in egypt journalists translated some of the footage into arabic and brought tested and then it all started when muslims in that part of the world believe that if the film was produced in the u.s. the u.s. government is responsible and part of the obama administration's damage control work has been to make it clear that they too find the film despicable in hillary clinton's own words this gusting and reprehensible she also said this let me state very clearly and i hope it is obvious that the united states government had absolutely nothing to do with this video we absolutely reject its content and mass. but the words apparently did not make it to the right ears and the rage went on in egypt in libya in tunisia and in yemen people stormed
2:14 am
u.s. embassy is despicable violence became the price the leaders of those countries of paid for letting the mob vent out this initially but the u.s. appears to be in a difficult position now they can't really lesh out of those. so are the people there because washington cheered so greatly for the changes that swept the region of the current levy and government essentially old its power to the united states also there are still questions as to whether it was just the angry mob which attacked the u.s. consulate in libya or whether an organized terrorist group jumped on the bandwagon of this film hysteria and perpetrated the vicious attack the chaos the influx of arms into libya during the war against gadhafi created perfect environment for extremists of all kinds so there's still a web of questions around what happened on nine eleven this year so the notorious film is threatening not just u.s. diplomatic missions and they are well but american interests in the region in general washington has spent
2:15 am
